What is known as of 10:06AM BST (London): Wagner is in control of the major Russian city of Rostov-on-Don in the south of Russia. Wagner military columns are allegedly moving along the Moscow highway (from south to north) bypassing another major city of Voronezh along the way. Russian air force attacking columns on the highway, Wagner responds by taking down military aircraft. The true scale of Wagner's control is unclear.

[David Bach @DBachGlobal]

Very frightening situation.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Putin was clear in his speech just now. He has ordered his army and others to destroy #Wagner & #Prigozhin. So there's going to be a big fight. Russians will be killing Russians, probably in large numbers, unless Prigozhin surrenders.

When you have a lot of kinetic military hardware in a small area, on opposite sides, the risk of accidents increases. That’s my biggest concern. #Taiwan

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

A heart-breaking moment saved in an SS picture of deportations of Hungarian Jews at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. It was taken 79 years ago, most likely in late May 1944.

A little child found a dandelion in the grass and is handing it or showing it to an older boy. All the people in this picture were waiting to be killed in gas chamber. They were murdered some time later.

Please RT this unique document.

Imagine you sign a contract to buy a house, a new car & a new TV. Your bank has agreed to give you a loan for all of it. When the moment comes to pay for it with the loan, you tell your spouse you won’t sign unless they cut their spending & you threaten bankruptcy. #DebtCeiling
